Lady Cavs Protect Homefront Against Frontier

The Lady Cavaliers of Culver Community High School had to work hard for four quarters in their game against Frontier. After Starting out the season 3-0, the Lady Cavs fell on hard times, losing 8 of their next 11 games. With their win on Wednesday, the Lady Cavs have now won back-to-back games to improve to an even 8-8 on the year!

The first half would be a challenge for the Cavaliers, as Frontier was able to convert on a good amount of scoring opportunities, Tammy Shedrow’s crew was able to answer every challenge presented to them by the Lady Falcons. Culver would find five different individuals in the scoring column by the end of the first half, with Junior Maddie Shedrow leading the charge with a team-high 9 first half points.

Rebounding would end up being the biggest difference in the ballgame, as the Lady Cavaliers would out-rebound the Lady Falcons 41-24. Senior Sarah Walters would have a game-high 13 rebounds, as she would be seen time and time again, crashing the offensive and defensive glass as if she were a bull in a china shop.

Defensively, the Lady Cavaliers would rely heavily on the athleticism of Kenzie Binkley and Alex Temme, who each were able to come away with three steals apiece in the winning effort. The defensive duo would combine for more than half of the team’s steals in the ballgame.

At game’s end, the Lady Cavaliers were able to put together a high-energy game, with a level of intensity Frontier was unable to keep up with for an entire game. 5’7 Sophomore Emma Blissett would lead all scorers with a game-high 15 points in the effort, scoring 10 of her 15 in the first half for the Lady Falcons. Maddie Shedrow’s 13 points and 6 rebounds would earn her the Ashley Derrickson/Five Star Player of the Game on WKVI.
